Secret of Mana

Initially released in Japan in 1993, Secret of Mana took the world by storm with its innovative real-time battle system and gorgeously rendered world. It continues to stand out among other action RPGs for its seamless gameplay that anyone from beginner to veteran can enjoy. One of the most memorable elements of the Mana series is the Ring Command menu system. With the single press of a button, a ring-shaped menu appears on the screen, where players can use items, change weapons, and do a variety of other actions without needing to switch screens. This Ring Command menu system for which the Mana series is so well known was first introduced in Secret of Mana and has since appeared in most games in the series. Play as Randi and his two companions, Primm and Popoi, as they adventure all around the world. At the center of our epic story is the mystical power of Mana. Battle the empire in its quest for control of Mana. Befriend the eight elementals who wield the forces of nature itself. Numerous encounters await at every turn.

Player estimates

Nobody publishes how many people play Secret of Mana, so these figures are modelled from the public counts on Google Play, App Store, Twitch. Each count stands in a roughly known ratio to a population — one Play rating per ~45 players, one Steam review per ~35 owners — and the estimates below combine those readings, weighted by how much each source can be trusted to speak for the whole game. Read the range as the answer and the headline as its middle.

Storyline

Using the power of Mana, civilization has grown strong. In time, Mana was used to create the ultimate weapon: the Mana Fortress. But this angered the gods and they sent their beasts to destroy the Fortress. A violent war between the beasts and the Fortress plunged the world into chaos, and Mana seemed to all but disappear. Before all was lost, a hero wielding the Mana Sword smashed the Fortress -- civilization had been destroyed, but the world was peaceful again. But time flows like a river, and history repeats...

Frequently asked questions

How many people play Secret of Mana?

We estimate that about 97,000 people have played Secret of Mana — plausibly between 18K and 280K. Around 4,800 of them play on a given day, in a range of 180 and 42K. Both figures are modelled from public counts on Google Play, App Store and Twitch rather than published by the developer, so read them as a scale rather than as a headcount.

Is Secret of Mana still active?

Yes. Secret of Mana is holding steady — it measured within a percent of where it was a week ago. We recheck every source daily, and the charts on this page show each platform's readings over time.

How are the Secret of Mana player estimates worked out?

Nobody publishes player counts for mobile games, so we infer them. Each public count we can read is converted into a population using a documented ratio — roughly one Google Play rating per 45 people who played, one Steam review per 35 owners, one Discord member per 40 players — and the live counts (Steam concurrents, members online, Twitch viewers) are converted the same way into a daily figure. Those separate estimates are then averaged in proportion to how much each source can be trusted, which is why sources that disagree widen the published range instead of cancelling out. This page is built on 2 readings taken since August 8, 2026.
